The workshops teach how photography and oral history can be tools for public awareness and advocacy. Participants will learn to create their own powerful photographs of neighborhood storefronts as well as record oral histories with shop owners, which communicate artistically and are insightful and moving.

The first set of workshops is already booked, but there are still slots available for the second set (May 1 and June 5). You must RSVP to attend. More info here.
